Fraternity under fire for 'pig roast' sex contest

Official condemns 'behavior that degrades and dehumanizes women'

(USA Today) Cornell University’s Zeta Beta Tau fraternity is on probation after university officials were made aware of a sex contest some fraternity members were conducting called the “pig roast.”

An investigation that concluded in January found that fraternity members held a contest where new members were encouraged to accumulate “points” by sleeping with women. If members tied, the winner was chosen by whoever had sex with a woman who weighed the most.

Vice president for student and campus life Ryan Lombardi said in a statement that the fraternity’s behavior was “abhorrent”, The Cornell Daily Sun reported.
